If you are living in a former meth Lab, get out. Call in a government enviromental response team. Seriously, and sue your landlord.

Yes it can. There have been cases where a home can no longer be insured, but to me, if you have done a real job cleaning, including down to the foundation and up through the attic, I think you would be ok - but dont sue me if you grow new fingers out of your forehead.

i don;t know as meth is so toxic. have you ever seen how they clean a meth house? they have so much protective gear ;it looks like their on a mission on the moon.call your local health dept and tell them what you;ve done ;and see what they say. it should be a law that home owners andlandlords should have to tell all about the property so us the people could deside if we; want to live in that property... good-luck

I have read articles and seen on TV that people who unsuspectingly move into these house can develop lifelong problems, even when they move out. You seriously need to check it out. Painting over it will not solve what has been absorbed into the wall, etc. My best advice would be to move especially if you have children.

Needs to be decontaminated or condemned.
